A while ago, I decided that I would only purchase black and white laser printers it didn't make much sense for me to get an inkjet based on my usage patterns - almost exclusively text documents. However, I found that I needed a printer for those times I just can't bum printing services off of people. On a whim, I took a chance and purchased a Canon i960 printer and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Unlike the throwaway laser I had before, this thing is quiet. The text quality was nice and crisp compared to the inkjets I've had before. Best of all, the 4x6 photo I printed out on the sample photo paper was undistinguishable from a lab printer. Heck, someone even remarked that it "smells like it came from the lab". Mmm...photo ink scent.
